Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S2 52. Let’s Live Separately

Barbara lowered Melanie’s hand from her shoulder. Her tears

thickened.

“What do you think of me? A daughter? But why don’t you love me unconditionally, like other mothers?”

Unexpectedly, Melanie burst out laughing. The corners of her lips. twitched disdainfully. “You believe other mothers love their children without expecting anything in return?”

While raising her eyebrows, Melanie slowly shook her head. “You’re wrong, Dear. Other parents just never say it. Everyone considers children an investment. We didn’t raise you for free. Of course you have to repay our services. Especially you….”

Melanie stroked Barbara’s cheek. “In your entire life, have I ever failed to grant your wishes? I’ve always complied with all your requests. Where else can you find a parent as good as me?”

Barbara’s breath started to rumble. Her hands clenched into fists gripping her dress.

“Is this the reason you always pamper me? So you can ask for

rewards and I don’t have a reason to be free?”

Melanie pursed her lips. “I actually don’t want to say it directly. Bu what can I do? You’ve started to be disobedient lately. I’ve had to encourage you to get back on the right track.”

“You’re the one who made me lost, Mom!” Barbara’s tears fell without touching her cheeks. “Don’t you realize? I am nothing more than a spoiled girl who can only ask and order. I don’t have any provisions to face life.”

“No, Darling,” Melanie shook her head firmly. “You’re wrong. You have beauty and that alone is enough to keep you going.”

“But I don’t want to be like you.” Barbara stepped back and stamped her foot. Every curve on her face was now filled with despair. “If I marry a man who only loves beauty, one day, my life will also end sadly.”

Melanie’s expression hardened again. Her throat was dry. “You call

life sad?”

“Yes,” Barbara breathed through trembling lips. “Just think about it carefully! You’re lonely. You don’t know the true meaning of love and family. You don’t understand the true meaning of life.”

Barbara’s breath began to hitch. Her shoulders rose and fell faster.

“All this time, you live only for pleasure and luxury. Without you knowing, those were the two things that made you a laughingstock. People knew that it was all fake, Mom. They didn’t really respect you.”

Melanie sighed in disbelief. She felt hot. However, Barbara still continued to give her coals.

“Please be aware, Mom! It’s not too late for you to change. M endless.”
